Prevent closing modal on clicking outside of modal (anywhere on the body)

[creativesoumik]

is there any way to prevent closing the modal by clicking on outside of the modal? i want the user to click on the close button in order to close the modal.

If you really need it, try this:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('.remodal-overlay').unbind('click.remodal');
});

If you are removing click-outside event, you need to remove also ESC keypress event to prevent closing window. You can do that by:

$(document).unbind('keyup.remodal'); // unbind ESC keypress

@martinpesout yep.

Note that both of these bindings have changed; since version 1.0.2, they should be:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('.remodal-wrapper').unbind('click.remodal');
});

and

$(document).unbind('keydown.remodal');
